Injection Lipolysis

Injection lipolysis entered the UK market like a storm. It is an EU-approved, revolutionary product that helps to dissolve local fat. It may remove unflattering and stubborn areas of fat without the need for liposuction or surgery. Injection lipolysis works by hydrolysing the wall of the fat cell and therefore making it releases it’s lipid content within.

The fatty byproduct is then removed from the body via natural processes. This treatment can be used almost anywhere in the body and is particularly popular in reducing the fatty deposits.

This can be in local areas such as:

Double chin

Upper arms

Buffalo humps

Chest fat (in men)

Lower abdomen

Muffin top Hips

Pre jowl sulcus

Inner thighs

Knees

Studies have proven that injection lipolysis, such as Aqualyx® causes splitting of fat cells which subsequently leads to natural clearance of fat via the normal system in the liver. The treatments are done every 3-4 weeks until desired result is achieved. On average 3-5 sessions are required depending on the volume of the fat deposit.
